New student advisors

This year, the “Diversity as a Strength” project group within the Student Advising Service has seen the largest increase in the number of dedicated students who are beginning their training this week to become student advisors and who will advise, guide, and support new students in the coming semester. As in every year, a comprehensive and diverse program of workshops and seminars on various topics related to student and academic life awaits the students. In (almost) all degree programs, 66 students provide orientation, answer questions, offer help with academic difficulties, and provide support for personal problems. After successfully completing the workshops and regularly scheduled team meetings, the students receive a certificate from the university and a personal reference for their résumé.

At both campuses, the students of SbS (Students Advise Students) are now actively involved in shaping campus, faculty, and student life. As working groups established in accordance with the bylaws of the Faculty Student Committees, they are the first point of contact for first-semester students—and beyond. They provide support with questions about coursework, academic organization, and everyday student life—but they also help with individual questions and challenges, offer guidance, and provide support during difficult phases of their studies. In addition, they pass on their experiences, tips, and tricks to the next younger generation—voluntarily and on a non-remunerated basis. They also serve as a liaison between counseling and support services both within and outside the university and as volunteers at university information days, cultural student events, in their own projects and initiatives, and as a point of contact for faculty, professors, and other university staff.

Furthermore, eight students serve as campus specialists to support another initiative of the project division. They advise prospective students and high school students, participate in events with schools, manage the chat and email inbox, and even assist with visits to college fairs. These students also volunteer their time alongside their studies to support interested, prospective students at the university.
